NASHVILLE, TENN. – Announced today, multi-talented musician, producer and songwriter Jacob Durrett continues his accomplished writing career by signing a new publishing deal with Big Loud Publishing / ERN’s Cadillac Music.

“Signing with Cadillac and Big Loud was a no-brainer,” shares Durrett. “ERNEST was one of the first people I wrote with ten years ago when we were both unsigned, so this new deal feels like a full-circle moment for all of us.”

Cadillac Music namesake and founder ERNEST adds, “Jacob and I go way back. Pumped to have him join this squad of writers and continue his already successful career as an important role player in the current country music landscape. We have written countless songs together and have had a decade or more of good times. He is a perfect fit for Cadillac Music.”

Penning songs for artists across genres – from ZAYN, Steve Aoki and Nelly to Morgan Wallen, HARDY and Koe Wetzel – Durrett’s impressive list of notable cuts include several tracks from Wallen’s blockbuster Dangerous: The Double Album, HARDY’s “Rockstar,” Chris Lane’s No. 1 “Big, Big Plans” and more. The Orangevale, Calif. native signed his first publishing deal as a Belmont University student in 2015.
